RAIL-CHAIR.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 435,680, datedSeptember 2, 1890. Application filed February 28, 1889- Serial No.301,533. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, WVILLIAM MILTON BROWN, of J ohnstown, in the countyof Cambria and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and usefulRaiLChair', which invention is fully set forth and illustrated in thefollowing specification and accompanying drawings.

The object of this invention is to provide a To rail-chairwith a clip bywhich the foot of the rail may be clamped to the chair.

The invention will first be described in detail and then particularlyset forth in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 shows a chair in end elevation,having rail shown in cross-section secured thereto by the clip and keyconsituting the subject of this invention. Fig. 2 shows the parts ofFig. 1

in side elevation. Fig. 3 shows parts of Fig.

1 in plan, the rail and brace part of chair being cut away above theline 00 x of Fig. 1.

In said figures the several parts are indicated by letters of reference,and are described 2 5 as follows:

The letter A indicates the rail; B, the chair proper; G, the clip, andDthe clip-key. The chair B is provided with a slot on one side,

through which the foot of the clip containing the seat for the key isinserted, as is clearly shown in Figs. 1 and 2. The clip O being thusinserted in place, with its lip or jaw over the foot of the rail, isforced home and held fast from working out by driving the key D to aclose lit in its seat against the side of the 3 5 chair and the lug d ofthe clip D.

I do not claim the particular form of bracechair shown, and it isevident that a clip or clips C may be used on each side of arailchairinstead of on one side only, thus dispens- 4:: ing with theupper brace part of the chair entirely.

Having thus fully described my said railchair as of my invention, Iclaim- 1. A box rail-chair provided with a side clip entering throughone of the vertical sides of said chair and keyed to the same bya keysecuring its bearing between an upturned portion of said clip and thecorner of the chair formed by the rail-seat and one side.

2. In combination with a rail having lower flanges, a box-chair havingtwo vertical sides and provided with a side clip entering through one ofsaid sides and keyed to the chair by a key securin g its bearing betweenan upturned 5 5 portion of said clip and the corner of the chair formedby the rail-seat and one side.

WILLIAM MILTON BROWN.
